Cristian Romero has been hit with an additional one-match ban for failing to leave the pitch after his red card against Liverpool and is set to miss the FA Cup tie against Aston Villa. Romero was sent off for two yellow cards and served an automatic one-match ban in the next fixture, against Crystal Palace. But the FA accused him with failing to leave the pitch promptly and the Spurs captain later admitted the charge. An independent commission has fined him £50,000 and added another one-match ban, which will start in the FA Cup at home against Villa on Saturday. 'After Cuti became the captain, he's done a lot of good things right,' said Frank.
